Strengths
- “Pupils are openly proud of their school.”
- “They are forthright when explaining why they think it is a great place to be.”
- “The palpable excitement generated by new dates for the project’s completion is powerful testament to what this impressive and improving school means to them.”
To improve
- “Their disappointment at the delayed completion of new ‘awesome’ sports facilities (on both sites of the school) is intense.”
- “However, some are less attuned to pupils’ needs ‘in the moment’ and do not move learning on enough when opportunities arise.”
- “When this happens, the pace of learning slows.”
